Abstract
As the annular eclipse of the sun on April 8 next may be of considerable interest to amateur observers, I am preparing a list of observations which may be made both within and without the region of annularity, and also full instructions for making the observations. Should any readers of NATURE care to suggest observations which might be made with small telescopes and the equipment generally possessed by an amateur, I should be very glad to receive their suggestions. May I also add that I am proposing to observe the eclipse from a point near the central line (probably Benbecula, in the Outer Hebrides), and if other amateurs would care to join me, would they please communicate with me with the view of forming a party?
